Holiday Hoopla

IMG_7826Blog

After a long and hot afternoon, we had Karen over for a rustic Easter dinner.

IMG_7807Blog

IMG_7810Blog

On the menu: Lamb Stew over Brown Rice

IMG_7816Blog

And grilled cabbage + zucchini

IMG_7822Blog

The stew incorporated another third of the big lamb leg we got from the Organic Butcher a few weeks ago. Karen paid for it, so we’re cooking her dinners with it until it’s gone! [It’s in our freezer]

I couldn’t quite finish my stew or all of the grilled cabbage, which was pretty crunchy and hard to cut.

IMG_7815Blog

IMG_7811Blog

Plus I was obviously saving room for the next course!

IMG_7829Blog

Karen brought a flourless chocolate cake, and the icing on the cake was the icing on the cake!

Delicious + divine. We all went back for small slivers of seconds!

We may have to open the windows to sleep tonight – it’s still hot!

        they did the catering for our wedding— highly recommend them even just for a quick meal while errand-running at barracks road.

    WOW, tell Karen her cake looks delicious! I’ve never tried grilling cabbage before… I wonder if it would work better if you were to marinade it for a while and chop it into smaller wedges. Hmm… I feel some experiments coming on!

    Did you just throw a big wedge of cabbage on the grill? How long did that take to cook? Did it get tender?

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      April 24, 2011 at 8:36 pm

      Yup. We quartered it. It only got tender on the outer layers so I’d cut into smaller pieces next time.

    If we had not eaten almost all of our leg of lamb for dinner (except for what is left over for my son’s lunch sandwich for work tomorrow), we’d be making that delicous looking stew! Will definitely keep the recipe on hand, though. Enjoyed a nice quiet dinner, then Frisbee outside (before the storm came) with our sons. Always special when we can all four get together. Happy Easter and Good NIght all!
